I thought initially it would be locked down and force you into using Tesco stuff but it looks like stuff like the App Store is there so that's a big bonus.

The other thing I like is that you are going to be able to use your clubcard points at 2x value. So potentially you could get the tablet for £55 of vouchers if you had so many. Either way it's a good way of bringing down the cost.

At 7" it's fairly small but same size as the Nexus. Ideally I'd have liked it a bit bigger but at this price you really can't grumble. Seriously tempted to get one.....no idea why! lol

Claimed battery life is 9 hours. Can't locate any tests yet, though I expect PC Review will do a test soon.

It seems to compare well against the Archos 80 Titanium which has a 8" screen so a bit bigger but does not have bluetooth, which the Hudl does have.

The KindleFire seems incredibly robust, children I nanny have those and they have a few scratches but have not cracked.

The price point seems a bit odd, £119? Surely that will be prone to being discounted at certain times, to say £99 - so it competes with other tablets on sale at the £99 price point. Or do you think that due to being part of Clubcard Boost the Hudl won't be discounted, so it encourages people to save up clubcard points and use them to get lower price?

Regardless of price I think it has a better spec than most of the competing tablets. This is more important to me. I want to be able to stream Netflix with a decent picture. Browse the web quickly. Expand the memory and connect to tv. So this sounds almost perfect. And the low price is a bonus.

The newer kit no doubt knocks spots off my old thing (Android 2.2 from memory) but I find it fine for many purposes and it was nearly put into service at an art gallery to feed a 42" TV (in it's 'Photo Gallery mode' where it would have been displaying images of art work for people to see as they walk past the shops on that street).

I am hopeless about these things, so her I am for advice please. Do you think my three almost 16yr olds would like one for Christmas? Can you download music, my dd`s I-pod is dying. I have enough club card vouchers to buy two so would be a great help for Christmas. Thanks
